Definitions
- From the DD patent specification 110,507 is a process for the preparation of copolyamides of caprolactam and salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids, eg. As AH salt, in which one feeds a VK tube from above caprolactam, AH salt and water and removes the corresponding copolyamide at the bottom.
- the method has the disadvantage that with the escaping at the top of the VK tube vapors diamine is discharged and lost. Furthermore, the method has the disadvantage that a precise temperature control in the VK tube head is considerably impaired by the released water with the supplied AH salt solution.
- the vapor phase is separated from the prepolymer melt and passed to a column where water vapor and an aqueous diamine solution are separated and the diamine-containing aqueous solution is recycled to the polymerization. Subsequently, the prepolymer melt is mixed with molten caprolactam and the mixture of prepolymer and caprolactam is passed from top to bottom through a vertical polymerization tube to obtain a copolyamide.
- the prepolymer from the precondensation zone already consists of blocks of low molecular weight condensed diamines and dicarboxylic acids, which are still retained as blocks in the subsequent polymerization with caprolactam. A better statistical distribution of the components no longer takes place. More salt is needed from diamines and dicarboxylic acids to arrive at the desired copolymer melting point. In addition, copolymers produced in this way tend more to discoloration.
- the process according to the invention has the advantage that it gives copolyamides whose co-monomer constituents are distributed significantly more statistically in the polymer chain than is possible by known processes. This can reduce the proportion of salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids compared to conventional methods.
- the new process has the advantage that the copolyamides thus produced are distinguished by improved product properties (eg lower intrinsic color).
- helical tube evaporators in the production and processing of polymers is known per se.
- the WO 2008/049786 describes the use of helical tube evaporators in the production of polyamides.
- the helical tube evaporators are used for the concentration of aqueous extract solutions from the extraction of polyamides based on polyamide-6.
- a helical tube evaporator in polyamide production FR-A-2 914 308 , In the process described therein, the polycondensation takes place for the most part in a helical tube, which is followed by a vaporization chamber for the separation of gaseous constituents and subsequent tube reactor.
- the pressure at the outlet of the helical tube evaporator is more than atmospheric pressure, preferably more than 0.5 MPa, more preferably more than 1.0 MPa.
- the discharge from the helical tube evaporator is fed to a device in which at least part of the vapor fraction is removed. In this chamber, the vapor phase is separated from the liquid phase, which settles to the bottom.
- the chamber is also operated at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure, preferably between 0.5 and 2.5 MPa.
- step 3 Only at this stage joins a tubular reactor, which is to serve for pressure reduction (step 3). It should be a non-adiabatic pressure reduction, so that a pressure in the vicinity of the atmospheric pressure is obtained.
- the EP-B-1 113 848 relates to methods for evaporating polymer solutions of thermoplastic polymers. It polymer solutions are concentrated with a polymer content of 5 to 20 wt .-% in a sequence of Sch GmbHrohrverdampfer downstream tube bundle heat exchangers with downstream separator.
- the EP-B-1 173 264 relates to a method and apparatus for evaporating polymer solutions of thermoplastic polymers. It is also a polymer solution having a polymer content of 5 to 20 wt .-% concentrated in a sequence of Schlenk tube evaporator with downstream separator and subsequent shell and tube heat exchanger with downstream separator.
- the EP-B-1 007 582 relates to processes for the preparation of polyamide prepolymers in which a prepolymerization is carried out in the presence of a flowing vapor phase.
- Lactamkomponenten those having 6 to 12 ring members such.
- the copolyamide components used are salts of, preferably equimolar, amounts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids in aqueous solution.
- Preferred diamines have the formula I. H 2 NR 1 -NH 2 I, in which R 1 denotes an alkylene radical having 4 to 16 carbon atoms, in particular 4 to 8 carbon atoms, which may have a cycloalkylene radical, or a 1,3- or 1,4-phenylene radical.
- Suitable compounds are, for example, 1,4-diaminobutane, hexamethylenediamine, octamethylenediamine, decamethylenediamine, or 1,3-phenylenediamine or 1,4-phenylenediamine.
- Preferred dicarboxylic acids have the formula II HOOC-R 2 -COOH II, in which R 2 denotes an alkylene radical having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, in particular 4 to 8 carbon atoms, which may have a cycloalkylene radical, or denotes a 1,3- or 1,4-phenylene radical.
- Suitable dicarboxylic acids are, for example, adi-adipic acid, Azelaic acid, sebacic acid, suberic acid, dodecanedioic acid, or terephthalic acid or isophthalic acid. Particularly preferred are adipic acid, dodecanedioic acid, terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid.
- equimolar amounts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids can be used. If desired, one can also work with an excess of diamines or dicarboxylic acids. Often, a slight excess of diamines is used, as these are more volatile than the dicarboxylic acids and can occur in the process losses on diamines. By the separation of the vapor phase after the helical tube and recycling of the organic components in the polymerization monomer losses are largely avoided. Therefore, it is preferable to work in about stoichiometric range of diamines and dicarboxylic acids. Deviations of about 5%, preferably about 2.5%, in particular about 1% of the stoichiometry are possible according to the invention.
- aqueous solutions used generally have a content of 30 to 70 wt .-%, in particular 50 to 65 wt .-% of the salts mentioned.
- Aqueous solutions usually have a pH of 7.7 at 20 ° C.
- lactam in particular caprolactam
- an aqueous solution of (capro) lactam containing, for example, 60 to 90% by weight of (capro) lactam and by extraction of the copolyamide produced with water and evaporation of the aqueous extract, preferably with the addition of 0 , 5 to 2 times the amount of fresh lactam, based on extract lactam has been obtained.
- a suitable solution is obtained, for example, after in the DE-A 25 01 348 described method.
- the amount of salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids, based on the total amount of monomer is preferably 0.2 to 40 mol%, particularly preferably 0.5 to 20 mol%.
- step a) an aqueous solution of lactams with salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids under elevated pressure, which is greater than the vapor pressure of the resulting mixture, in a mixing apparatus at a temperature of 80 to 300 ° C, preferably 130 to 200 ° C, intensely mixed. It is preferred equimolar amounts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids used.
- elevated pressure is meant a pressure higher than normal pressure and the vapor pressure of the resulting mixture. Preference is given to working in a pressure range of 2.5 to 50 bar, preferably 5 to 20 bar.
- the mixing apparatus can be selected from any suitable mixing apparatus, in particular for liquids. These are preferably continuous mixers, in particular static mixers.
- the mixer installations can be chosen so that in the viscosity range of the monomer solutions as homogeneous as possible mixing takes place in a short time.
- an aqueous solution of salts of preferably equimolar amounts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids and lactam (s) is passed under elevated pressure and simultaneous evaporation of water through a helical tube evaporator to form a vapor phase and a liquid phase.
- the aqueous solution of salts of equimolar amounts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids and lactams are, if appropriate, premixed in a static mixer, depending on the desired Copolymerzusammen experience before they are introduced into the helical tube evaporator.
- the temperature in, preferably static, mixer is 80 to 300 ° C, preferably 130 to 200 ° C.
